ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin. russia tells ukrainian fighters in spirit donuts chemical plant to surrender. but it says civilians will be allowed to leave via a humanitarian corridor as the battle for the don't bass region rages all. also coming up russian energy, giant gas pro analysis,

it will slash gas deliveries to europe while it repairs a key pipeline. but what's really behind the move and hot air from north africa is bringing an early heat wave to spain. temperatures in some places are reaching their highest. they've been this time of year in 40 years. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. russia has told ukrainian fighters holding out the chemical plant in the eastern city of seville de nest to surrender. a spokesman for pro russian separatists in the region says if they don't lay down their weapons, they'll face death. meanwhile, russia says it's establishing a humanitarian corridor to evacuate an estimated $500.00 civilians who've been sheltering at the plant. it says they'll be taken to the russian control town of

spots opal. with all bridges to the twin, city list shanks destroyed, ukrainian troops. now risk being encircled instead of ever denounced. eliza chance has suffered relentless shelling but not every one in the walked on eastern city is fleeing. some i do afraid to leave, but others have nowhere to go. well, yeah, we'll do. we'll yet look at where should i go to let me if i were 40, maybe i could flee, but where should i go now? should i have collision later? meanwhile, just across the river in the twin city of soviet, oh, don't ask. many are unable to leave with all the main bridges destroyed, that city is now almost cut off. the regions governor says it is mostly under russian control. authorities believe more than $500.00 civilians, including children are sheltering at the vast as ot chemical blonde. this he, the blonde is under heavy bombardment from russian forces. moscow and pro russian

separatist in the region have issued an ultimatum to the ukrainian troops. still holding out in the city. there was given the ukrainian military units that a station there remained there for either. they have 2 options, either followed the example of their colleagues and surrender or die love. they had no other option over them back unless a chance many residents are desperately holding for the war to end. no, it done so little bit during our older civilians here we have no one. but why are they shooting? it doesn't matter. yeah. we don't have any one here. no soldiers. why are they bombing us? but as the battle for don, boss ranges on, an end to the wall is nowhere in sight. she w is roman, gone to ranko is in chia i asked him if the humanitarian corridor offered by russia

was the only option for civilians to leave severe or de next. oh, for most people. yes. the ukranian authority said a few days ago. there is no possibility for evacuation by bridge by land, but some people, but very few numbers could try and cross the river. a sailors quay vignettes through the twin city of lease a chance which is on the ukrainian control. but there is heavy shelling and there is a risk for life though. those people who was trapped in this even city of several don't ask, will try to escape through the russian controlled church where they will have to go through the so called filtration camps. maybe they will be deported or moved to russia and maybe later, some of them will have will. it will have an opportunity to go to ukraine. like just like, like we've seen him in the city of mar, you po, a few weeks ago. but generally, the situation is getting worse day by day, hour by hour. russia has issued a surrender or die ultimatum i to ukrainian troops holding out in severity announced the deadline passed earlier this morning. what to expect to happen now?

i wouldn't expect much. nobody's talking about surrendering to the russian troops. and the situation is very much different from mario pl. i would say, because the ukrainian forces are just across the river on the other bank. and they are trying to help those in several than ask they are trying to maybe deliver some weapons across the river by boats, by small a small ships. maybe some a ukraine enforcers are swimming. but the situation generally is getting worse and ukrainian forces are desperately need more weapons met, weapons from the west to hold the city. and i do not exclude that in the coming days, the fighting will intensify and intensify even more. now you're in the capital, kia roman. what's the mood among the residents there? are they confident that russia can be defeated and that ukrainians,

territorial integrity can be restored? well, it depends who you talk to most people i've spoken. just say yes, we are confident that we can hold our territory and we can take it back. but we need more weapons from the west and they are coming to slowly. there are 2 things that people hope for one is weapons and the other that the russian army will get tired. they expect that to happen in the coming weeks, maybe months because the fighting continues. it's very intense. and both, both sides will need kind of a break. we've seen something like that in early april. and this is what people are hoping for. roman, thank you very much. that was the w. roland gunter, rancor in kia the war in ukraine is not the same conflict that it was 4 months ago. the fighting is now focused on the eastern, on bass region where it's turned into an artillery dual, a slow and costly war of attrition. what kid needs most now are heavy weapons.

ukraine has received upwards of 300 artillery pieces from the west, with more than with more on the way this is the m 777 howitzer. more than a 100. these have arrived from the united states. they allow ukrainians to shoot farther, and in some places out gun russian forces more than 40 rock multiple rocket launchers have arrived in ukraine from the west. keith is eagerly awaiting delivery of several of these m $270.00 rocket systems from britain. these can fire much farther than conventional artillery and with greater precision. germany has also promised to supply rocket launchers along with self propelled howitzers like this, and he aircraft guns and surface to air missile systems. but we don't know if any of it has been delivered. how much to the prostration of keith. smaller countries have been making generous contributions. poland alone has sent more than 230 t 72 tanks, the czech republic,

more than 61 armored personnel carriers and 14 fighter jets from bulgaria are in the skies over ukraine. over more, i'm joined now by mike martin. he's a war and conflict researcher and a former british army officer. mike, we just seen an overview of the weaponry the ukraine has received so far. how does that compare to what ukraine actually needs? hi, good morning. i'm the ukraine government on mondays. just a couple of days ago announced that they need to thousands artillery pieces a 1000 drawings as well, and up to 500 times. so the numbers that you quoted that just 200 all 3 pieces, making it to ukraine. well, short of that, i think as well, the important thing to consider with artillery is that the logistical requirements ammunition are huge. it's very possible to borrow

a shipping containers by mission in a very short period of time. now, many native countries are clearly willing to supply ukraine with weapon equipments and munitions. but do these alliance members really have the stocks available to supply ukraine with what it means? in terms of artillery pieces? i'm drugs. yes, they do drugs. you can buy the shells. i'm so that fairly easy to get hold of 3 pieces, a 1000 or 3 pieces. well with the stocks of nice members. ammunition is probably a more difficult question, but i would say even that with the docs, that if you look across the entire nice lines as well with folks and what about commercial providers? mike, how much could the arms industry deliver to ukraine and what sort of barriers are there for the industry to do that?

well, if we take a country like britain, for example, the military and the defense logistics organizations have very close long standing relationships with industry. indeed, the defense industry used to be government control and it's just now in the private sector. so these long standing relationships are already keyed up, if you like to increase production in a time of war, such as this. we've been at warner, you crazy, 3 months. and so what those requests made the industry, the beginning of the war, which i believe they were, that will be starting to come on line. so again, some of these new weapon systems from the west are quite sophisticated. ukrainian troops need special training in order to operate them. that takes time. how does that factor into things strategically? is that you hit the nail on the head? the mac is not necessarily the weapon systems in the training. so previously in the

complex ukraine was asking for the weapons. and these, you can deliver these literally in a suitcase or a box, and you can read the instruction manual and then the trips can use them on a completely different ordinarily we would expect take like 6 months to try the crew and artillery pace. obviously, that's unrealistic. now, the training courses are being reduced down to a week or 10 days, but that means that ukrainian troops have to take it out, train in some, my life, poland, or even in britain, and then those ukrainians go back to, you know, become trainers of the crate in troops, so as you know, at least a 2 week or a one month lag in getting those systems is operational on the phone line. mike, thank you very much for talking with us sir, for inside sir. the war crimes are being investigated from mass graves in butcher to a heartbreaking testimonies from towns like your pin and board younger. the number

is growing. the w rebecca rivers heard from residence in trust in the it's a town in northern ukraine that spent a month under russian occupation the trust in yet train station, or what's left of it for more than a month, russian troops used it as their headquarters. it was from here, alexander tells me that they carried out some of their crimes. whenever the wall is here, they will be, it's right where we're going mom shoulder. that's where we're going to move from. we made them alexander, an auto mechanic says the russians came in the night and pulled him straight out of bed. some towns, men he says, were killed on the spot. but he and a handful of others were brought down here into the station's basement, federal or to those i was sitting right in this going oh good. i was beaten. there are 4, shoot with us as and this was painted by another guys blood. his head was

smashed with the butt of a gun, and his hands were tied behind his back. he tried to get up and left blood marks. that man survived for this video shows his body and maybe his mind were badly scarred within the fate of some fellow prisoners is unknown. berry proposed lieutenant governor of the ukrainian army was brought here with the beat him, badly interrogated him beat him again, and they took him somewhere and he never came back abroad. don't know where he is. they are looking for him. what happened to all exaninth earn his fellow captives? these alleged war crimes. they happened here under ground, when no one could hear their cries or the blows of the russian soldiers. but not all the crimes that took place in this city happened on the ground. some happened right up here in broad daylight. the laws of war prohibit attacks on civilians and

torture, as well as attacks on hospitals should deal with him. there was a direct heat from a tank or a position there and the shooting at us. and our shifts over the hospitals, director says the russians knew what they were doing. resna my, i was, i have no explanation for this bumble i will take away with scarlet gardener, one of mobility. there was a big hospital sign. you had a big white flag but, but the red cross reform, but it didn't matter to them at all. and millennia was that she knew. dr. shifts over says the 2 nights before the russians left trust units were the worst, the hospital was pounded without. stop the patients and doctors were forced to take refuge under ground. bookman like old royal wicked, don't you little? she remembers that a baby was born. the sick and wounded continued to receive treatment. many people prayed. it was from within. there is gordon this world. there is justice,

kindness will prevail some day. we will never forgive them for this lesson, for our tears, for the little children were carried alden our arms, this women with tears in their eyes, that grandmothers who cried here, you have to pay for everything in this life. they will pay too, they will, that blanket, doctor shifts over, says there's no way or time to extract vengeance. only time to rebuild. but the people of trust in nets will never forget for the war and ukraine is having a massive impact on the world's energy supplies efforts to secure germany's gas supply. i've been stepped up with the government announcing it will bail out a former subsidiary of russian energy giant gasp. rome gas from germania will get 10000000000 euros to prevent it going bankrupt and keep supplies flowing. announcement came after gas from said it would slash billy gas deliveries to germany via the north stream pipeline. as it waits for german partner, siemens to return equipment. it had sent for repair. energy giant gas prom is

giving germany the cold shoulder. the kremlin own company is slashing and gas supply volume by nearly 40 percent. now instead of the previous 167000000 cubic meters per day, only $100000000.00 will flow to the north stream one pipeline. gas prom blames missing compressor units from german company. siemens. however, siemens energy is not allowed to supply the parts because of sanctions against russia. nord stream one is the main supply pipeline. since 2011, the pipeline has been bringing gas from vi borg and russia to lou mean in northern germany. the nord stream to pipeline runs parallel. it was nearly up and running, but then russia invaded ukraine. in response, germany halted the project. and as a countermeasure, the em all europe pipeline is no longer being supplied by russia. since the start of the war, russian natural gas applies to europe have significantly decreased. this is in part

because of sanctions against moscow. and because you countries refuse to adhere to a new rule by russia, demanding payments to gas prom in rubles despite the gas pol announcement, the german ministry of economic affairs says supply is guaranteed. and gas storage facilities are well supplied. not only for private households, but also for industries that depend heavily on gas, but the prices have become noticeably more expensive. and the german government is also taking a former gas prom subsidiary. under its long term control, germany will give it a 10000000000 euro bailout gas prom germania controls, a substantial share of gas storage and gas pipeline networks throughout europe and been schmidt is a research associate at harvard university. he says, we should be skeptical about the kremlin claims that delayed repairs of the north

stream pipeline, or to blame for the cut in gas supply. i'm, you know, we have to be skeptical. you know, there's, there's a few things that play here. first of all, it's trying to make it, you know, it being, you know, the russian federation trying to make a statement that, you know, we should try to somehow limit our technology, credit calibrated sanctions on dual use and energy technologies. we shouldn't take the bait on that now with this, this notion about the siemens compressor are parts that better supposedly needed. because remember, they can rectify this right now. they being gas from the can send war gas through the existing a spare capacity in the mall, europe pipeline rember. they caught off poland from a gas supplies just several weeks ago. on not to mention, it least one 3rd of gas applies through the ukranian territory, could be turned back on if the russians de occupied the area around that pipeline, ah, where that gas goes across to still 2 thirds of that pipeline system is operating in brain gas that you are not only central nice europe to western europe as well.

you're watching d. w. there's still to come. we meet the russian, the artist from russia, who literally giving a voice to the anti war sentiment back home with the 1st the u. k. as canceled its 1st deportation flight to rwanda, which was set to take off on tuesday evening. the flight was cancelled after the european court of human rights intervened ruling that asylum seekers could face a real risk of irreversible harm if they were sent their cancellation as seen as a blow to the government of prime minister boris johnson, who insisted the deportations would go ahead d, w, bergan mas has more from london. the government has really been put under spots a lot of publicly in the last days we've had foreign secretary list trust saying that it's not the, it's not the policy that is immoral,

but it's actually the people smugglers. it's there is people who help other people across the channel in bates and that costs lives. and she says, this is necessary as a deterrent because britain wants to be seen as a country. that is not well coming of to too many people, but they want to create in an old town that was used years ago, a kind of hostile environment, at least towards what they call illegal migrants. now the people that are crossing the channel are people that usually have ties, committee ties, britain, and that they want to come to the u. k. but they're hoping basically to make it very, very attractive. the u. k. as a country because people who, who are coming in in this way, who are crossing by the channel, they are now facing the possibility of being deported to rhonda

catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. a 2nd person has been arrested in brazil, suspected of being involved in the disappearance of british journalist dom phillips, and indigenous expert, bruno ferrera. the 2 were researching d 4 station and commercial intrusion in the region. rescue teams found a backpack and laptop near where the 2 went missing. a report commissioned by the un human rights council to investigate the root causes of the israeli. palestinian conflict, blames the israeli occupation for decades of violence. their israel has rejected the findings and alleges that the investigation was biased. the commission says it needs better access to interview witnesses, which is real, has denied record flooding has forced yellowstone national park in the u. s. to close, one house on the yellowstone river was swept away by the torrents. tourists had been stranded and communities in montana and wyoming cut off after the flood waters

knocked out roads and bridges. spain is facing unusually hot temperatures for early june, with the mercury rising. well, over 40 degrees celsius, in many places, authorities are warning of a risk of wildfires. scientists say climate change is making heat waves more frequent and more intense. the last time it got this hot, this early in the year in spain was in 1981. here in madrid, in the mid day heat temps are soaring, and those who are out and looking for ways to stay cool. some are soaking up the full force of the heat wave, but spain's national weather agency warns conditions could feel even more extreme with sand and dust from the sahara desert being carried north into europe. a spokesperson for the weather agency says heat waves have become 5 times more

frequent in the 21st century. lower nicholas the on the to does a moon fine. i've come here with my friends calona, but he's good for you. it provides victim indeed. so i'm happy while some are pleased with the high temperatures, not every one can escape the sweltering heat. was a sudden it's difficult dealing with the heat in madrid, a little muddy. there's not much shade and a lot of asphalt here. it's hard and we don't have air conditioning at home, grandma, not animals, i've only been o. further south and severe. the situation is even worse. with temps, easily breeching 40 degrees celsius. the heat hitting higher and earlier than it has here in more than 6 decades. meteorologists attribute the high temps to a mass of cloud of hot air. moving through europe from northern africa,

forecasters say the heat wave is due to hit france next. now back to the war in ukraine, in russia, it's almost impossible to speak out freely against the war without repercussions. that's why a berlin based artist, an illustrator, has come up with a way of giving a voice literally to those who don't agree with vladimir putin war without fear of retribution is so surreal. who is so painful? there can't be any reason to send your troops into a foreign country. these are the voices of russians who are against the war in ukraine. the animations are by an artist in berlin, bella blanca cova. she grew up in siberia, but has been living in germany for several years now. at the end of april, she asked her fans back home to send voice messages with their thoughts about the war. was sheila but i hear your clinical thought of therapy people in russia who are against the war of a lot of the brier was margins, 3rd, 4th grade,

how to show that they have no say they have been stripped of the right to express their opinions here. in me, of, of, i am here in europe and i can help make their voices heard goes on for your futon. bella says she did not expect her idea to have so much resonance. she was getting a 100 messages a day from very different people all over russia. i asked her, my country is killing innocent people. i don't want that. sure. these voices became part of a short film. she 1st made drawings by hand and later animated them boys. before the war, bella used to illustrate people and animals. she made a new one each day in her journal. but after russia invaded ukraine, she has only been able to think and draw about one topic. i wasn't much shorter from the lawn february 24th. so i drew this picture with

a thong since then and has been all about that. so she hopes to support russians who are against the war with her art to help them feel less alone yet. but into, with a group and yeah, i there, but i am, there is a concept called a sparrow of silence for it's for the cubic of one. if a person feels that very few people like them exist and what they are less likely to express their point of view because it's a royal commuters because i've been sung and with this film i wanted to show that there are a lot of us back. you, it was more said that people might be less fearful and be able to speak out more voice with kaiser to know the general. it took bella less than a month to make her film, but she couldn't get in all the voices. so she will keep trying to break through the oppressive silence in russia about the war in ukraine. for we go, just a quick look at our top story this our russia has told ukrainian fighters holding

out the chemical plant in the eastern city of savannah denounced to surrender. it also says it's establishing a humanitarian corridor to evacuate an estimated $500.00 civilians who have been sheltering at the as all chemical. you're watching dw news from berlin up next. it's close up on terry martin. thanks. ring with ah, with
